VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D in Colorectal Cancer Progression
We aimed to assess the relationship of the angiogenic cytokines VEGF-A, VEGF-C, and VEGF-D and their receptors VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 in the adenomacarcinoma sequence and in metastatic spread of colorectal cancer (CRC).

VEGF-C and VEGF-D Blockade Inhibits Inflammatory Skin Carcinogenesis [PDF]
Abstract VEGF-C and VEGF-D were identified as lymphangiogenic growth factors and later shown to promote tumor metastasis, but their effects on carcinogenesis are poorly understood. Here, we have studied the effects of VEGF-C and VEGF-D on tumor development in the murine multistep chemical carcinogenesis model of squamous cell ...

VEGF-D promotes pulmonary oedema in hyperoxic acute lung injury. [PDF]
AbstractLeakage of fluid from blood vessels, leading to oedema, is a key feature of many diseases including hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI), which can occur when patients are ventilated with high concentrations of oxygen (hyperoxia). The molecular mechanisms driving vascular leak and oedema in HALI are poorly understood.

Diagnostic performance of VEGF-D for lymphangioleiomyomatosis: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
Objective: VEGF-D is a potential biomarker for lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM); however, its diagnostic performance has yet to be systematically studied. Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library to identify primary studies on VEGF-D in relation to the diagnosis of LAM.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-D (VEGF-D): An Angiogenesis Bypass in Malignant Tumors. [PDF]
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are the key regulators of vasculogenesis in normal and oncological development. VEGF-A is the most studied angiogenic factor secreted by malignant tumor cells under hypoxic and inflammatory stress, which made ...

Co-expression of α9β1 integrin and VEGF-D confers lymphatic metastatic ability to a human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468LN. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Lymphatic metastasis is a common occurrence in human breast cancer, mechanisms remaining poorly understood. MDA-MB-468LN (468LN), a variant of the MDA-MB-468GFP (468GFP) human breast cancer cell line, produces extensive ...
